A Platform For sherman and
Blaine

8oAslllA
The New York SIN publishes The
following as Sherman's platform in
1888:
|. The hnlldozed negroes of the
still rebel South must be protected
by Federal Government in voting
the Republican ticket.
2. God bless the New South. and
speed Its wonderful Development
3. Home rule for Ireland.
4 Tho potting industry is the old
est of the arts, and as beautiful
ware is made in East Liverpool,
Stark county. Ohio, as in Serves,
France. is the glory of Ohio.
5. Natural gas is ohio's chief
glory.
6 With possibly the single ex-
eeption. of Che Germans the Irish is
the finest, most patriotic element O
our American population.
Z. Perhaps, excepting the Irish
we have no more desirable and tru-
ly praiscworthy citizens than those
who have come to us from Germany
s. The people of the Southern
States are forgetting the prejudice.
of twenty years ago.
8. A fair count of the colored Re
publican vote of the South can nev.
er be guaranteed until the contro
of the elections is taken from thC
States and placed entirely in the
hands of the Federal Government.
10. Old ideas and sectional quest
ions are passing away, and we are
rapidly becoming reunited nation
IL. A patriotic stand must be tax,
en- against the tendency, especially
in commercial cities, to yield every,
thing, honor included, to the spirit
of the rebellion.
II. The theories of the murderou,
Anarchists cannot be too severely
condemned.
The above are the sentiments ex
pressed in sherman's speeches.
They are his entire stock in trade
with the exception of few stripes
of the bloody shirt that he has il
reserve. This platform would scrv,
Brother Blaine as well as Sherman
Blaine might come out a little aheac
if he would add this as his plank:
13. Christopher Columbus discov
cred America in 1892.

An exchangeremarks that the boy
who can properly pillow field, lay it
off and plant it with corn, cotton or
who can harvest crop OF
grass-who knows all. about attend
ing to dairy-who can get up a
a load ofmarketing, carry it to mar
l1ct and dispose of it to advantage
in short, who can in any case of
emergency take his fathers place in
the transaction of any of the farm
business, is in our opinion of more
real worth to his family and the
community around him than a whole
regiment of dudes who go about
with no other employment but that
of twirling their switch canes, twist
ing their waxcd moustaches and
pouring their sentimental nonsense
into the listening ears ofevery silly,
simpering girl who deems it ungen-
teel and unbecoming to be seem
assisting her mother in the kitchen
and other household duties. This
kind of boys will be sure to make
their mark in the world and win the
esteem of all others. Mark them.

Ex-senator Thurman has been
interviewed in New York ON the
political sisuation and says: al am
out of politics forever, and am
sure that no one wants to hear on
that subject from an old man like
me. Still, if you want to know
what | think, 1 will say that 1 be-
lieve most decidedly that President
Cleveland will be renominated and
reelected. 1 do not care to discuss
Mr.. Cleveland's policy. Personally
1 like the President very much. 1
think he is brave and honest man,
and one with a good deal of common
sense. do not know how Cover
nor Hillsstands in this State, but
do not think he can get the nomin-
alton. 1t will undoubtedly be a
very serious matter if the labor
party puts a separate ticket in the
field and there are three candidates
for the Presidency"

An Opera company of the United
States comes to the front with u
grievance. 1t has been imprisoned
in Mexico in Cuttings prison on
"fimsy" charges, and denied hear
ing or trial. AS a mattcr of pre-
caution and that justice may be done
all parties Secretary Bayard had
better hear them play an opera or
so before deciding to lay waste
Mexico.

A Simple Cure for Rheuma-
fiSIu

tism.
A correspondent of the English
Mechanic Says: Let all of "ours'
know the following. Ny wife has
suffered occasionally with acute
rheumatism in her feet, with pain
full swelling, completely taking her
off her feet for many days at time.
The following remedy was recon-
mended recently and tried, and
took away the agonizing pain in
less than fifteen minutes, and she
can now walk very fairly, aud in a
couple of days she will be able to
button her boots, and walk without
a stick or crutch.
One quart of milk, quite hot, into
which stir 1 ounce of alum; this
makes curds and whey. Bathe the
part affected with the whey until
too cold. In the mean time keep
the curds hot, and after bathing,
put them on as poultiee, wrap in
flannel, and-go to sleep Gou CAM.
Three applications should be a
perfect cure, even in aggravated
cases.

A contemporary remarks: Our
venerable friend John Sherman
charges the Democratic Administra-
ton at Washington with the FideI-
ity Bank smash up. The only dem
ocrat connected with the institution,
a director, resigned when he sus-
pected something wrong, while all
the arch-criminals are Republicans,
and President Harper was the man
who threatened his employees with
discharge if they voted for Cleve-
land and that he would go out of
business if Mr.. Cleveland was cleo
ted, which promise he has kept adj
rairably. Comptroller Trenholm
scores Mr.. Sherman for silly talk
that is much worse in its effects than
any of his hoary headed campaign
lies. But the old man will prate.-
There is suspicion that he is get
ting childish on the subject of poll
tics.

sixth of the population-ten millions

academies 593. There are 1880
ecclesiastical students. in attend-
ance upon 1857 parochial schools
are 537, 7,725 pupils. The growth of
the church in a century has kept
pace with the growth of the republic.
A hundred years or more ago there
were $4,000 Catholics in popula-
ton of 2,sOO,OOO. In 1890 there
were but twenty-one priests in the
United States. Brooklyn is noted
as the diocese which led all others
in growth.

The interview with District At
terney @. C. Watts, published in
this issue, is worth careful perusal
hy the people of the interior of our
State. The proposed railroad, ex-
ending from Morgantown up the
Monongahela and the West Fork
to harrisburg on through by Wes-
top and down the Elk to Charles
Ton and thence up the Coal river to
t.R Tennessee line, would open up
tie great interior of West Virginia
TO Development. This region is fer
tile, well timbered and abounds in
coal and perhaps other minerals,
and is well watered by beautiful
streams. and is only waiting the adj
vent Of a railroad to open it up to
the outside world and bring m inn
i! rants and capital to develop its
resources and send out its products
to the markets of the world.
Mr.. Watts speaks with much en-
thusiasm of what such road would
do for Kanawha and other counties
and recommends that there be no
delay in voting subscriptions
The amount of money required
would of course be considerable for
each county but when the great BEN
etits enumerated by Mr.. Watts are
considered the amount becomes
very small. The fact is, unless the
interior counties pursue a liberal
policy in regard to great enterprises
of this kind, they may be passed
by for many years and much OF
their richest resources go undevel-
oped. The great reason that West
ern towns and counties develop Sc
fast is that the people are wide
awake to every enterprise and en-
courage it with their energy and
means Wheelinig Register.

Addressing a body of business
men at Bridgeport, Con, not long
since, P. T. Barnum said: "You do
not advertise enough. You ought
to use printers ink every day
You are asleep, and want your bus
mess to run itself. Standing adver-
tisements in paper command con-
fidence. The man who for a yerr
lives in a community and leads a
reputable life, even though he be of
moderate ability, will grow in conf
dence and esteem of his fellows
On the same principle, newspaper
advertisement becomes familiar to
the eyes of the reader. 1t may be
seldom read, but it will make the
name and business of the man ia
miliar, and its presence in the col
umns of a paper inspires confidence
in the stability of its enterprise" /"

A fiightful accident occurred at
the Parkersburg Mill this morning,
but which, though very serious, is
not likely to prove fatal.
Milton Stuart, young man, son of
sardius Stuart, was employed at a
rip saw when two splinters about
eight inches long and one inch by
one-half inch thick flew off the
board he was saving striking him
on the thigh and piercing entirely
through. Some of the men pulled
the splinters ont and at once sent
for DIR. c. ]. Scott, who dressed the
wounds.
The accident was a very serious
one and it will probably be long
time before Mr.. Stuart has the use
of his limb. Fortunately the bone
was not injured.-State journal.
